I found a pair of vintage postcards last weekend that inspired this tabletop concert by the Bunny's Eastertime Band. As soon as I found this card, I knew I wanted a whimsical Easter table featuring bunnies in action.

A few more flips through the vintage card album, and this card helped me chose the tablecloth for the bunny frolic.

The bleeding hearts in my garden are just baby shoots of green this week, but this fabulous Simtex vintage tablecloth with ferns, clematis and bleeding hearts from my friend Elaine is ready to host the rabbits.

How about a bunny rendition of "Easter Parade" for your dining pleasure? The tulips are dancing to the beat.

Yes, the placesettings also feature musical bunnies.

This tabletop features Fiesta dinnerware, Libbey stripe glassware, Williams Sonoma egg-shaped bunny ramekins, vintage cocktail napkins, wooden bunnies from the dollar store many years ago, and a ceramic jardiniere that we received as a wedding gift. The hard to find flatware is by Cambridge and is variously called "Dot Gingham" or Duplex "Happy." It was a gift from the Flatware Fairy!

About Me

I enjoy collecting dishes made by the Homer Laughlin China Company, especially the Art Deco Fiesta, Harlequin and Riviera dinnerware lines. I'm always on the hunt for vintage tablecloths and other accessories to compliment my collection.
The background on my blog is gray to match my dining room walls. This lovely neutral shade showcases the colorware on my table. The other colors used on my blog reflect some of my very favorite pottery glazes: chartreuse, Harlequin yellow and scarlet.
If you like my tabletop or have questions, please leave a comment and I'll reply to you.
Go ahead...ask me about my deco dishes!
